What sort of riding do you do? For street it is worth having something such as a dmr moto on the front and a maxis minion on the rear! I have the dual ply minion on my bike and have not pinched once since I got it (about 6 months ago) and I was pinching at least once a ride before!
When I got my bb7 the power was shit and took and 5 rides before the power got to how I would like it, this is rather surprising to me. I suppose the first ride being in snow didn't help much either as it could not really get hot.
Might not be able to come now as I can't stay at my dads and I can't be bothered to ride back from the station to my house (through the woods) late at night again.
If you can't run a normal singlespeed chain, the strongest 9sp chain that I have ever used is a YBN one, it is so strong that I broke two chain tools removing it from my old frame. link
Not even the strongest atomlab rims in my opinion that would be the G.I. street edition. Have one on the front of my mountain bike and after snapping a set of argyles the rim was still perfectly true.
There is a much quicker way to do that if you have a universal bleed kit. With that all you need to do is attach the syringe to the bleed nipple and pump fluid through from the bottom, doing it that way takes about 5 mins.
How did you ever get validated with responses like that, seriously Ali put the effort in! (For the nobs that are surely going to start shouting at me, that was a joke)
